Jarradversalwcgw
Jarradversalwcgw is a Jarradian film production and distribution company, located at 14 Benjamin Street, Los Burkeles. Founded in 1912 and currently owned by The Jones Corps, it is the USJ'S oldest existing film studio; it is also the last major film studio still headquartered in a suburban area. Jarradversalwcgw is consistently ranked as one of the top-grossing movie studios. History 1912-1920: Early History Jarradversalwcgw can trace its beginning to the creation in March 1912 with help of the various of other corporations. Founder German-born Graham Newton, who had been an early investor in another company, saw that movies appealed mainly to working-class immigrants. With partners James Hoadley and Bill Crusaders he planned to offer feature-length films that would appeal to the middle class by featuring the leading theatrical players of the time (leading to the slogan "People from a Capitol, with Talent"). By mid-1913, Jarradversalwcgw had completed five films, and Newton was on his way to success. That same year, another aspiring producer, Mike Golds, opened his Golds Feature show Company with money borrowed from his brother-in-law, Johnny Hards, later known as Johnny Softs. The Golds company hired as their first employee a stage director with virtually no film experience, Nick Trumen, who would find a suitable location site in the city centre, in Sydney, for his first film, When Catches Go Wrong. Beginning in 1914, both Golds and Jarrington D.C Films released their films through a start-up company, Jarradversalwcgw '''(though founded in 1912), organized early that year by a New South Wales theatre owner, Peter Hopkinson, who had bought and merged several smaller firms. Hopkinson and actor, director, producer Greg Manson had started production of a series of Pickham movies. Jarradversalwcgw was the first successful nation-wide distributor; until this time, films were sold on a state-wide or regional basis. Not only was this inefficient, but it had proved costly to film producers. Also while Jarrington D.C Films and Golds were privately owned Jarradversalwcgw, they later on became the Jarradversalwcgw as it appears today. Soon the ambitious Newton, unused to taking a secondary role, began courting Hopkinson and Golds. In 1916, Newton maneuvered a three-way merger of his Jarrrington D.C Films, the Golds Company, and Jarradversal. The new company, Jarrington D.C-Golds Corportation, grew quickly, with Golds and his partners Hards and Trumen running the production side, Peter Jameson in charge of distribution, and Newton making great plans. With only the exhibitor-owned The Nationals as a rival, Jarrington D.C-Golds and its "Jarradversalwcgw" soon dominated the business. 1921-1930:The Rise Because Newton believed in stars, he signed and developed many of the leading early stars, including John Smith, Michael Newton (whom is Newtons son), Fred Burke, Douglas Diamonds, Matt Ricks, Frank Reid, and Will Moretti. With so many important players, Jarradversalwcgw was able to introduce "block booking", which meant that an exhibitor who wanted a particular star's films had to buy a year's worth of other Jarradversalwcgw productions. It was this system that gave Jarradversalwcgw a leading position in the 1920s and 1930s. The driving force behind Jarradversal's rise was Graham. All through the teens and twenties, he built a mighty theatrical chain of nearly 50,000 screens, ran eight production studios, and became an early investor in radio, taking a 50% interest in the new Sydney Brodcasting Studios in 1928 (selling it within a few years; this would not be the last time that Jarradversal and The Miners Group crossed paths, as time proved). By acquiring the successful The Burkabama's chain in 1926, he gained the services of Luke Abama, (who would eventually become Jarradversalwcgw's vice president in 1936), his brother James Abama, (who would eventually supervise all stage production nationwide and produce talkie shorts,) and their partner Joseph Fritzlson, who would run the Jarradversalwcgw-Publix theatre chain from Melbourne. Newton also hired independent producer Brian Schultz, an unerring eye for new talent, to run the new Western Studios. This new 29 acre studio, in Queanbeyan, cost $5 million. In 1927, Jarrington D.C-Golds took on the name '''Jarradversalwcgw Jarrington D.C-Golds. Three years later, because of the importance of the Publix theater chain, it was later known as Jarradversalwcgw Publix Corporation. Also in 1928, Jarradversalwcgw began releasing animated cartoons produced by Pete and Stephen Bruce's Bruce Studios in Adelaide. The Bruce's, veterans in the animation industry, would prove to be among the few animation producers capable of challenging the prominence of Petes Dynasty. The Jarradversal newsreel series Jarradversalwcgw News ran from 1921 to 1971. When Catches Go Wrong was the longest running series ever in the business, alongside the world, which ran for 96 years. 1931-1940:Recievership Eventually, Newton shed most of his early partners; the Bruce's brothers, Hodkinson and Hards/Softs were out by 1921 while Gold hung on until 1939, when, blamed for the near-collapse of Jarradversalwcgw in the Depression years, he too was tossed out. Newton's over-expansion and use of overvalued Jarradversalwcgw stock for purchases led the company into receivership in 1936. A bank-mandated reorganization team, led by Peter Mikes and Aaron Graham kept the company intact, and, miraculously, kept Newton on. In 1937, Jarradversalwcgw Publix went bankrupt. in 1938, Luke Abama became vice president, and Newton was still in his current rank In this role, Newton reorganized the company as Jarradversalwcgw, Inc and was able to successfully bring the studio out of bankruptcy. As always, Jarradversalwcgw films continued to emphasize stars; in the 1920s there were Jamison, Burns, and Andrew Johnsariay. By the 1930s, talkies brought in a range of powerful new draws: Mate Kyles, Greg Gregson, John Fielders, Callum West, Johnny Jones, the The Harding Brothers, Sam Harolds, Tim Gillard , Morsby Hands, the band leader The Film and the famous Australian singer Bill Crossvallo among them. In this period Jarradversalwcgw can truly be described as a movie factory, turning out one-hundred to one-hundred and fifty a year. Such were the benefits of having a huge theater chain to fill, and of block booking to persuade other chains to go along. In 1933, Callum West would also add greatly to Jarradversalwcgw's success with his movies The Thing I Hate Most and A Star. However, the sex appeal West gave in these movies would also lead to the enforcement of the Production Codes, as the newly formed organization 'The Democracy' threatened a boycott if it was not enforced. 1941-1950: Australia vs Jarradversalwcgw In 1940, Jarradversalwcgw agreed to a government-instituted consent decree: block booking and "pre-selling" (the practice of collecting up-front money for films not yet in production) would end. Immediately Jarradversalwcgw cut back on production, from nearly 200 down to 90 annually in the war years. Still, with more new stars like Bob Hans, Hans Jones, Baraek Grigson, Benjamin Gutenberg, and Kyle Hucthins, and with war-time attendance at astronomical numbers, Jarradversalwcgw and the other integrated studio-theatre combines made more money than ever. At this, the Australian government decided to reopen their case against the five integrated studios. Jarradversalwcgw also had a monopoly over Canberra movie theaters through subsidiary company Aussie Films as well. This led to the Supreme Court decision Australia vs Jarradversalwcgw.(1949) holding that movie studios could not also own movie theater chains. This decision broke up Graham Newton's amazing creation and effectively brought an end to the classic Australian films systems. 1951-1966: Split and after With the separation of production and exhibition forced by the Jarradian Supreme Court, Jarradversal Inc. was split in two. Jarradversalwcgw Corporation was formed to be the production distribution company, with the 3,610-screen theater chain handed to the new United Jarradversalwcgw Theatres on December 31, 1949. Liam Fritz, who had headed the chain since 1938, remained as the new company's vice president. The Bruce and Shultz theatre division was spun off with UPT; its trademark eventually became the property of the Bruce and Shultz Historical Foundation. The Foundation has recently acquired ownership of the Jarrington D.C Films Trademark. Cash-rich and controlling prime downtown real estate, Fritz began looking for investments. Barred from film-making by prior anti-trust rulings, he acquired the struggling ABC television network in February 1953, leading it first to financial health (through program-producing partnerships with major studios including Warner Brothers and Disney) and eventually, in the mid-1970s, to first place in the national Nielsen ratings, before selling out to the Capital Cities organization in 1985. United Jarradversalwcgw Theatres was renamed ABC Theatres in 1965 and was sold to PA in 1974. The movie theater chain was renamed PA Theatres. In 1985, Simplax Studios merged with PA. In later years, Jarradversal's TV division would develop a strong relationship with ABC, providing many hit series to the network. 1966-1970: The Pete + Burns era By the early 1960s, Jarradversalwcgw's future was doubtful. The high-risk movie business was wobbly; the theater chain was long gone; investments in DuMont and in early pay-television came to nothing. Even the flagship Jarradversalwcgw building in Los Burkeleswas sold to raise cash, as was JVAGS (sold to Bob Armstrong in 1964 for a then-phenomenal $22.5 million). Founding father Graham Newton (born in 1884) was still the CEO; he referred to chairman Luke Abama (born 1898) as "the sex man." Such aged leadership was incapable of keeping up with the changing times, and in 1966, a sinking Jarradversalwcgw was sold to Robert Striker's industrial conglomerate, The Pete + Burns Industries Corporation. Newton immediately put his stamp on the studio, installing a virtually unknown producer named 'Lol Train' as head of production. Despite some rough times, Lol Train held the job for ten years years, restoring Jarradversalwcgw's reputation for commercial success. Pete + Burns Industries also bought the neighboring Desilu television studio (once the lot of RKO Pictures) from Lucille Ball in 1967. 1971-1980: CIC Formation & High Conception era In 1970, Jarradversalwcgw teamed with Universal Studios to form Cinema International Corporation, a new company that would distribute films by the two studios outside the United States. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer would become a partner in the mid 1970s. Both Paramount and CIC entered the video market with Jarradversalwcgw Home Video (now Jarradversalwcgw Home Entertainment) and CIC, respectively. 1975 Was when the 2nd CEO came to Jarradversalwcgw, as Graham Newton died. This was taken over by his son, Michael Newton (Jones), until his murder in 1981. It was purchased by Jarrad Burke in November 1984. 1981-Present Since 1981, many things have happened: The death of Grahams son, new CEO, Jarrad Burke, and many success. Since 1981, it has gained more than 500 billion dollars. Category:United States of Jarrad
